However the message does not give me a way forward.
I would like to know the absolute file path and ideally to have a button to push which will attempt to enable write access to it.
I have unset read-only on the whole "C:\program files\galileo" folder but no dice, hence my frustration at the less-specific-than-possible message.

This message relates to the serviceconfig.xml file located in your <workspace> \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.platform.iac.administra tor\config directory. After changing the file permissions from read-only you will need to reload the preference dialog.

Please open a bugzilla to request any additional information you would like added or modified in the message.
